A Room of Their Own. For this spring edition of Today Kansas City, we are delighted to share our take on a restaurant which seems to embody much of what this season means to Midwesterners. The Antler Room breathes new life into its dishes, and shows you how something simple or familiar can be elevated to an experience that stays at the front of your memory for months. EL: The Antler Room, located in the Hospital Hill area of Kansas City, has a name that harkens back to 1930s when The Antlers Club, which was part of the Pendergastera saloons, reigned supreme in the West Bottoms. Needless to say, it had quite a seedy underbelly. But don’t let that history fool you. Chef Nicholas Goellner and his wife, Leslie, have taken years of travel and culinary experience to create a casually elegant dining experience that has made a permanent mark on Kansas City’s culinary scene.
